1.) The Tree of Life represents the Spirit of GOD. It is the way of the spritual minded man. Who has an understanding of love because he has the Law written on the tablets of his heart (mind), and so he can walk (live) in the Spirit. The Tree of Life is for the spiritual man.
..."Who also made us adequate as servants of a New Covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life"... -2 CORINTHIANS 3: 6
2.) The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represents the Law (which itself is spiritual and glorious). It is the way of the natural (unspiritual) minded man. Who has no true understanding in his heart (mind) to what love really is, and so, he must walk (live) by the letter. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is for the religious man.
..."But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was"... -2 CORINTHIANS 3: 7
The Spirit of GOD is what we should walk (live) in. The Spirit is Truth! Yet, men create written doctrines and denominations to supposedly save mankind and bring us to GOD. However, false religion is taking us farther away from GOD.
..."But from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die"...
-GENESIS 2:17
False eligion "kills" the relationship between GOD and mankind, creating separation in the minds of those who buy into its doctrines. Separation between GOD. False religion, the man made ideas of how we can "get right with GOD", is the root cause of this separation which has been passed down from generation to generation; making a relationship with GOD by His Spirit almost completely impossible. Therefore, the Tree of false religion must be cut down, and it will be.
..."So every good Tree bears good fruit, but the bad Tree bears bad fruit. A good Tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad Tree bring produce good fruit. Every Tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire"...
-MATTHEW 7: 17-19
We have been taught, traditionally speaking by the teachings of false religion, that the Tree to be cut down is "us", individually; but that is not the hidden truth in the above passage. The tree to be cut down is false religion. But, what can one do, who is trapped in false religion and believes it to be the truth? Leave it now and come to your freedom! The time is now for you to hear what the Spirit of GOD is saying:
..."I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues"... -REVELATION 18. 4
..."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the Tree of Life which is in the Paradise of GOD"... -REVELATION 2: 7
See what scripture says concerning those who overcome the false religion of todays churches---
..."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it"... -REVELATION 2: 17
Another scripture tells about a "falling away" that must first come before the son of perdition may be revealed. The son of perdition, we are told is the one---
..."Who opposes and exalts himself up above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of GOD, displaying himself as being GOD. -2 THESSALONIANS 2: 4
This son of perdition is false religion. You will notice that this son of perdition already sits in the temple of GOD now, which is the hearts (minds) of mankind. Your heart (mind) is this temple.
..."Do you not know that you are a temple of GOD, and that the Spirit of GOD dwells in you?"... -1 CORINTHIANS 3: 16
As people break the chains of false religion along with it's traditions of men, their eyes will be opened.
The Messiah (Christ) did not come with a religion! He came with a Kingdom! He did not say repent for religion is come. He said "Repent for the Kingdom of the Heavens is come" -MATTHEW 4: 17.
False religion is the enemy of GOD! The adversary of Spirit! Come out of it now, today, and stop to give it power over you; Listen to your heart (mind), as the Spirit of GOD will lead you into all truth -JOHN 16: 13. False worldly religion cannot save anyone! Your time for freedom is now and it is also your time---
..."To open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me (the Messiah or Christ)"... -ACTS 26: 18

THE ORAL LAW

1.) You shall have no other GOD before Me.
2.) You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
3.) You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, THE LORD your GOD, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
4.) You shall not take the name of THE LORD your GOD in vain, for THE LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.
5.) Remember the shabat day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a shabat of THE LORD your GOD; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days THE LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore THE LORD blessed the shabat day and made it holy.
6.) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which THE LORD your GOD gives you.
7.) You shall not murder.
8.) You shall not commit adultery.
9.) You shall not steal.

All the people perceived the thunder and the lightning flashes and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance. Then they said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen; but let not GOD speak to us, or we will die. Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid; for THE GOD has come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Him may remain with you, so that you may not sin. So the people stood at a distance, while Moses approached the thick cloud where THE GOD was. Then THE LORD said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

THE LAW OF LIBERTY
The above 12 Oral Commandments which GOD Spoke on Mt. Sinai (Mt. Horeb) is the Judgement Law. It is the Perfect (blameless) Law of Liberty.
..."For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He Who Said, "DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY", Also Said, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER". Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the Law of Liberty"...
-JAMES 3: 10-12
..."For whoever keeps the whole Law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He Who Said, "DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY", Also Said, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER". Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the Law of Liberty"...
-JAMES 3: 10-12
THE LAW OF GOD IS
| GOOD | -1 TIMOTHY 1: 8-10 |
| HOLY | -ROMANS 7: 12 |
| PERFECT | -PSALM 19: 7 |
| PURE | -PSALM 19: 8 |
| JUST | -ROMANS 7: 12 |
| TRUE | -PSALM 19: 9 |
| SPIRITUAL | -ROMANS 7: 14 |
| RIGHTEOUSNESS | -PSALM 119: 172 |
| FAITHFUL | -PSALM 119: 86 |
| LOVE | -ROMANS 13: 8-10 |
| UNCHANGEABLE | -MATTHEW 5: 18 |
| ETERNAL | -PSALM 111: 7-8 |
Even though the Law of GOD has 12 distinct articles at -EXODUS 20: 1-22, and 12 distinct qualities as seen above. Yet and still, no one will be justified by the works of the Law. The Law of God serves only as a means to point out to us what sin is. By the Law we will all be found guilty, or not guilty, and will receive our reward accordingly on the Judgment day of the Messiah Yosha Ha Natsiri (Christ Jesus The Nazoraean) -JOHN 5: 22-24; -2 CORINTHIANS 5: 10. The knowledge of good and evil is the Law.
..."Then the LORD GOD took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. The LORD GOD commanded the man saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil YOU SHALL NOT eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die"... -GENESIS 2: 15-17
Two trees in the Garden of Eden are both symbols of the true. The Tree of Life is a symbol of the Messiah (the Christ), our Tree of Life. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a symbol of the Law. There is no actual tree that gives life or is there an actual tree that gives us knowledge. The Law or Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was the commandment YOU SHALL NOT! So, what is this tree that can bring death to man? In scripture we learn that death comes through sin.
..."Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned"... -ROMANS 5:12
By one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin. So, we can see that it is sin that brings death to man , but what brings us the knowledge of what sin is? The Law.
..."Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to GOD; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin"... -ROMANS 3: 19-20
Therefore the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law for by eating of the tree death entered into the world. Now, is the knowledge of good and evil (or the Law) sin?
..."What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! No on the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting (envying), if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET"...
-ROMANS 6: 7
So, we can see that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law, for it is ONLY through the Law that we have the knowledge of sin. Now that we see that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law, what exactly does the Law do then. The Law reveals SIN to man, without the Law man would not know that he was a sinner. Adam was created in SIN but did not know that he was.
To get a clear understanding of this we need to take a look at the following.
..."But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 35-36
This is the order of arrangement that God put forth Himself. Even the Messiah (the Christ) had to die before He took on His glorified body. What is true of Him is also true of every man and this includes Adam. Until Adam died he could not have risen to life. That is to say until our old man dies, we cannot put on our heavenly glorified body.
..."And that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 37-38
So we see a change made in the grain that is sown. The grain is not the body which will be, but is bare grain. Once the grain is planted in the earth (dies) it springs up into life. Now some may spring up to be wheat or some other grain, for the bare grain is not the plant that shall be. Adam, like everyone else is bare grain at first. He had to die to arise to life. For only in resurrection can one put on the imperishable body. This bare grain is the natural body (the old man) that must die. Scripture then go on to show us that there is a difference in the bodies. For God gives it the body that pleases Him.
..."All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory"... 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 39-41
..."So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body; it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 42-44
This natural body which Adam had and we also have is sown perishable. For without resurrection our bodies are perishable. In the resurrection our bodies are raised imperishable. The natural body that Adam had and we also have is sown in dishonor, but raised in glory. Sown in weakness, and raised in power. Sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. These scriptures tell us that the natural body must come first, then die to be raised a spiritual body. Only in resurrection is there a glorified body, so Adam had to die in order to put on a glorified body.
..."So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL". The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 45-46
So the first man, Adam, was MADE a living soul, the following scripture says that the living soul is natural, or a natural body as the preceding scripture states. And this is how Adam was fashioned. This is all in contrast to the Messiah (the Christ) which was made a life-giving spirit. Living soul is also translated living creature. Soul and creature both come from the same Canaanite-Hebrew word: NEPHESH.
..."The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 47-49
So, the scriptures tell us that the first man (Adam) is from the earth, earthy, and as we have possessed the image of the earthy, which image Adam had, we shall also possess the image of the heavenly. Now, was the image that Adam possessed (his natural earthy body), the image of GOD? No, this natural earthy body must die first in order to be resurrected, for only in resurrection are we given a heavenly body.
..."Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable, Behold, I tell you a mystery; We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 50-51
That is to say that life in the flesh (that Adam and we have) cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD.This life in the flesh must die first because the perishable cannot inherit imperishable. We must all be changed (Translated or Transferred -COLOSSIANS 1: 13). The bare grain (Adam) that was first planted, is not the body that will be. That which you sow is not raised EXCEPT IT DIE. Adam could not have possessed this imperishable body. If he did he would not have been able to die. That which is born of GOD CANNOT SIN.
..."Then the LORD GOD took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. The LORD GOD commanded the man saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil YOU SHALL NOT eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die"... -GENESIS 2: 15-17
Two trees in the Garden of Eden are both symbols of the true. The Tree of Life is a symbol of the Messiah (the Christ), our Tree of Life. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is a symbol of the Law. There is no actual tree that gives life or is there an actual tree that gives us knowledge. The Law or Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was the commandment YOU SHALL NOT! So, what is this tree that can bring death to man? In scripture we learn that death comes through sin.
..."Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned"... -ROMANS 5:12
By one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin. So, we can see that it is sin that brings death to man , but what brings us the knowledge of what sin is? The Law.
..."Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to GOD; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin"... -ROMANS 3: 19-20
Therefore the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law for by eating of the tree death entered into the world. Now, is the knowledge of good and evil (or the Law) sin?
..."What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! No on the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting (envying), if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET"...
-ROMANS 6: 7
So, we can see that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law, for it is ONLY through the Law that we have the knowledge of sin. Now that we see that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is the Law, what exactly does the Law do then. The Law reveals SIN to man, without the Law man would not know that he was a sinner. Adam was created in SIN but did not know that he was.
To get a clear understanding of this we need to take a look at the following.
..."But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 35-36
This is the order of arrangement that God put forth Himself. Even the Messiah (the Christ) had to die before He took on His glorified body. What is true of Him is also true of every man and this includes Adam. Until Adam died he could not have risen to life. That is to say until our old man dies, we cannot put on our heavenly glorified body.
..."And that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 37-38
So we see a change made in the grain that is sown. The grain is not the body which will be, but is bare grain. Once the grain is planted in the earth (dies) it springs up into life. Now some may spring up to be wheat or some other grain, for the bare grain is not the plant that shall be. Adam, like everyone else is bare grain at first. He had to die to arise to life. For only in resurrection can one put on the imperishable body. This bare grain is the natural body (the old man) that must die. Scripture then go on to show us that there is a difference in the bodies. For God gives it the body that pleases Him.
..."All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory"... 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 39-41
..."So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body; it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 42-44
This natural body which Adam had and we also have is sown perishable. For without resurrection our bodies are perishable. In the resurrection our bodies are raised imperishable. The natural body that Adam had and we also have is sown in dishonor, but raised in glory. Sown in weakness, and raised in power. Sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body. These scriptures tell us that the natural body must come first, then die to be raised a spiritual body. Only in resurrection is there a glorified body, so Adam had to die in order to put on a glorified body.
..."So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL". The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 45-46
So the first man, Adam, was MADE a living soul, the following scripture says that the living soul is natural, or a natural body as the preceding scripture states. And this is how Adam was fashioned. This is all in contrast to the Messiah (the Christ) which was made a life-giving spirit. Living soul is also translated living creature. Soul and creature both come from the same Canaanite-Hebrew word: NEPHESH.
..."The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 47-49
So, the scriptures tell us that the first man (Adam) is from the earth, earthy, and as we have possessed the image of the earthy, which image Adam had, we shall also possess the image of the heavenly. Now, was the image that Adam possessed (his natural earthy body), the image of GOD? No, this natural earthy body must die first in order to be resurrected, for only in resurrection are we given a heavenly body.
..."Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable, Behold, I tell you a mystery; We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed"... -1 CORINTHIANS 15: 50-51
That is to say that life in the flesh (that Adam and we have) cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD.This life in the flesh must die first because the perishable cannot inherit imperishable. We must all be changed (Translated or Transferred -COLOSSIANS 1: 13). The bare grain (Adam) that was first planted, is not the body that will be. That which you sow is not raised EXCEPT IT DIE. Adam could not have possessed this imperishable body. If he did he would not have been able to die. That which is born of GOD CANNOT SIN.
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
..."Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of GOD"... -JOHN 3: 3
Cleansing and forgiveness from sins of the Law comes ONLY through the Messiah (the Christ) and it is a FREE gift specially prepared for us from the Messiah (the Christ)!
..."For by Grace you have been saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the Gift of GOD; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast"... EPHESIANS 2: 8-9
No one can be saved by keeping the Law. For all have sinned -ROMANS 3: 23. Salvation can ONLY come through Grace, as a FREE Gift from the Messiah (the Christ), and we receive this Gift by Faith, not by works of the Law. But by the practice of love! The Law serves only as a means to know or have knowledge of what sin is. Cleansing and forgiveness from sin, TODAY, comes ONLY through the Messiah (the Christ)!
Cleansing and forgiveness from sins of the Law comes ONLY through the Messiah (the Christ) and it is a FREE gift specially prepared for us from the Messiah (the Christ)!
..."For by Grace you have been saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the Gift of GOD; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast"... EPHESIANS 2: 8-9
